The MiG-29 Fulcrum jet fighters were built to be lightweight, inexpensive, very
fast and very maneuverable. The name Fulcrum was coined by the United
States Military and the Russians liked it so much that, that is what the
Russians
called it. These jet fighter airplane models come in plastic airplane model
kits, wood kits, mahogany airplane models and Die Cast display models.
Plus, MiG-29 fighter jet rides. The MiG-29 UB is the two-seat
trainer variant of one of the best multi-purpose combat aircraft to ever come
out of the Soviet Union. In order to make space for the second pilot, this
version lacks the pulse Doppler radar system found in the single-seat version. A
positive thrust-to-weight ratio results in easy vertical takeoffs, and powerful
dual Klimov RD-33 turbofan engines deliver an impressive top speed of Mach 2.3.
Kit features exceptional filigree engraving, upgraded engine compartment detail
and an extensive range of guided missiles and drop tanks.
There are many versions of this plane, these
specs cover only one version.

top Russian aircraft using information that, only a few years ago,
was highly classified. One of the best fighters of the current age,

advanced combat airplanes in the Russian Air Force. It was designed for gaining
an air superiority role in the Soviet Union during the early 80s. One of the
most advanced airplanes in the world, the legendary MiG-29 has turbojet engines
and boasts a superior ratio of power over mass coupled with excellent
aerodynamics.
